Alex Rodriguez may not have gotten MVP honors this postseason. And he didn't get Sportsman of the Year. But he did beat all his baseball cohorts at one big thing. According to Ask.com, A-Rod is the "most-asked about baseball athlete" on their site this year. Here's the complete list:
1. Alex Rodriguez
2. Tim Lincecum
3. Manny Ramirez
4. Derek Jeter
5. Chase Utley
6. Roy Halladay
7. Cliff Lee
8. Albert Pujols
9. Jacoby Ellsbury
10. Hideki Matsui

I'm not the least bit surprised A-Rod is No. 1. What does surprise me is that Jacoby Ellsbury is on the list, and not, say David Ortiz. And that Joe Mauer didn't make the top 10 searched-for.
I'm impressed that Chase Utley is on that list.
ReplyDeleteMaybe all the BBWAA writers looked him up after receiving complaints about a lack of consideration for Utley as the NL MVP.
